any judicial functions, to which a detained person may lodge
objections against his detention. The right to lodge such
objections is notified to each detained person when the detention
order is delivered to him or as soon as practicable thereafter.
Such objections may be lodged immediately after the making of a
detention order and thereafter at intervals of not less than
two months.
